“Never negotiated”: Süle adviser Volker Struth gives reasons for Bavaria’s farewell

Volker Struth, advisor to Niklas Süle, has sports1–double pass about the reasons for his client’s departure from FC Bayern Munich, emphasizing that the 26-year-old was not just about the money.

“Because he just didn’t feel he was appreciated enough,” Struth replied when asked why the .

Struth also cited how the club dealt with Süle when he tore his cruciate ligament for the second time at the end of October 2019. “If you tear your second cruciate ligament as a professional footballer at the age of 25, you naturally worry,” said the consultant.

“If the club had approached us, we would have been in a different situation today. But that didn’t happen,” Struth complained about the lack of support during Süle’s long injury break.

It was also clear early on that Süle wanted to leave the club. “I spoke to Hasan Salihamidzic in the late autumn of last year, but by then the penny had already dropped,” explained Struth.

Niklas Süle’s new club has already been decided

That’s why Süle didn’t want his agent to hold a meeting with the club in January. “On January 2nd he announced his decision to definitely leave the club in the summer. We never negotiated,” said Struth.

What the future of Süle will look like has already been clarified. “The new club is set. Niklas has made a decision and I would be surprised if he changes that decision again,” said Struth, without naming the club.
